Harvey Donations
Guys, saw a TV ad, and we checked it out. If you donate at Wal-Mart, they will add double what you donate. Effectively tripling your donation. It all goes to the Red Cross for Harvey relief. Sounded to good to be true, right?
Cindy just returned from our local Wal-Mart after making a donation. It's true!

I've been giving to them for years...certainly not the Red Cross...for obvious reasons. First heard about their shenanigans back when Elizabeth Dole was running their show.

My brother is deep in that business and once told me never to give to the ARC. The international RC is a lot better, however.

^^^^ Not a fan of the ARC, United Way, and a few others, though I have donated to both, and do also to the IRC for foreign disasters. The Salvation Army, or local groups is where my $ go....YMMV.

Our company has a Company Store in both Houston and Corpus Christi.
We are taking donations of stuffs at our main facility in OKC and are going to truck the stuff down to our company locations. Like the Salvation Army. Have family that are actual uniform wearing members.
